A running theme in this first season of Dem Bois Podcast has been the importance of healing and therapy, and this episode is no different. Today, I sit down with Xavier Jones, husband, father of three, fitness enthusiast, and first lieutenant in the Army Reserves. We talk about mental shifts that come with the physical transition, changing our names and celebrating rebirth, moving through the different stages in one’s transition, and healing from trauma through fatherhood.
We talk:
Xavier's transition journey - 10:13
The mental and emotional parts of transitioning - 17:50
A more realistic viewpoint of parenthood - 28:28
